Fixing the Kings w/ Portland

Kings get: De'Andre Ayton and Kris Murray
Blazers get: Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles and Devin Carter
Why?
Kings add good fitting pieces. They could really use a big that can score down low, and getting the other twin is a bonus.
Blazers get smaller contracts, one who is a great shooter, a big that can shoot and a solid prospect recovering from injury.

Trading your recent lotto pick and going into the tax for a 34M back up C is not what i call fixing the kings

I think they have to swing for the fences at this point. Blowing it up doesn't make sense for them imo.

Also, the idea is to pair Ayton with Sabonis in the starting line-up.

Easy yes for Portland.

Seems like the low hanging fruit was building a Demar/Grant three team deal.
But I don’t think this makes sense for Sac. It worked a bit in Indy as Sabonis was younger and Turner was great. Now you don’t want Sabonis having to defend on perimeter with Ayton behind him. And Ayton never worked on his three. Na.

Ayton is the third best center on the Blazers, not sure how he helps the Kings or counts as swinging for the fences.

I would simply do Ayton + Walker for Huerter + Lyles.
Carter included is wild.
